Heated seats have been working well for me for the past few weeks now that it's been reliably chilly every morning. (I have the softex trimmed seats)
Heated Seats issue: Updated**
- Thread starter chirorzr
- Start date
Had mine at the dealer for another reason and had them check the seats because the seat heater is the weakest of any car I have owned. They just used a laser thermometer to test it and said specs say low should be about 65, medium 75 ish, and high is 85. I guess it is just designed to run at relatively low temps.
Took mine to the dealer and they said it’s fine 
but compared to my three other vehicles it’s literally the worse. You can barley feel it in highest setting. Pointless to me. And a disappointment.

I have seen a few reviewers now complain about the lack of warmth in the heated seats. Saw a suggestion this could be addressed via software at a later point by Toyota. Is that even possible?
they said my squealy brakes are fine too.... LOL
ME: Is the smoke coming from battery normal?
Service Writer: Yeah... no TSB's on that... just keep driving it til you see flames

not entirely sure.. i feel like the seating pads would have to be updated to handle any increase in current or such? I forgot all my physics shit from undergrad tho lol.
